Reforming the Law of Nature is a stimulating study of the development of natural law ideas in the early modern period, uncovering their connection to conceptions of the origins of politics. It brings sixteenth and seventeenth century jurisprudence, theology and political philosophy into conversation with one another to uncover the ways in which developments in political thought affected the emergence of a secular understanding of political life.

Reviews for Reforming the Law of Nature: Natural Law in the Reformed Tradition and the Secularization of Political Thought, 1532 1688

""Simon P. Kennedy offers an intellectual contribution of exceptionally high merit. By offering a nuanced and historically well-grounded analysis, demonstrates convincingly how natural law thinking in the early modern period first coincided with and then became unmoored from Protestant thought. Reforming the Law of Nature should effect a fundamental change in the way in which we recount the history of European natural law theory."" -Cary Nederman, College of Liberal Arts at Texas A&M University
